The goal of this quantitative research is to find out how resilience is related to college students' social and emotional skills. Findings about this association were derived from data acquired from 1,411 students enrolled in urban universities. This study aims to get a better knowledge of the many components of resilience, such as students' ability to manage their emotions, engage with others, and demonstrate social competence. Using a standardised questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, evaluated emotional capabilities (including stress tolerance and emotional awareness) and social capacities (including empathy and interpersonal skills). Their demographic data collection includes details such as sex, age, marital status, education, place of residence, and technical proficiency. The goal was to see whether there were any commonalities or distinctions among the various groupings. Researchers looked for statistically significant variations in the individuals' social and emotional talents and resilience levels using an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results show that resilience is positively correlated with emotional and social intelligence. The results showed that resilience is positively correlated with emotional and social intelligence. Students' ability to handle stress and persevere in the face of adversity was positively correlated with their social and emotional intelligence. Gender and marital status had no bearing on resilience, although environmental factors and educational attainment did. Emotional and social intelligence are key indicators of resilience in youngsters, according to research. These results highlight the importance of higher education institutions encouraging students to build their social and emotional competencies. The purpose of this is to improve students' mental health, academic performance, and general happiness.
